That is all it really does is make everything look better. Don't get it for performance unless it has the other end attatched to a supercharger.

good, "if" you wanted a cleaner look for cheap you could check out the fernco mod.....i wouldnt recommend it because it has a tendency to crack the lid unless properly prepared

SLP lids have more flex than most other lids i've dealt with, which is a plus.
The smooth bellows is an expensive, nice looking piece,,,but thats it.

I have an early SLP lid. It does not fit well, so beware.

Beware of what? The old lid? Well since its the old style and they are not around anymore, the warning is not needed. I have an SLP lid and it fits great.
